Starting from 2025, the Social Fund has implemented a new automated information system (AIS) designed for pensioners receiving payments through banking institutions. The "Tunduk" platform now interacts with 17 government agencies and 50 banks, facilitating faster data exchange and reducing application processing times.
Since August 2022, the requirement for notarized copies of death certificates for appointing survivor pensions has been abolished. It is now sufficient to present the original documents for verification.
Insurance contribution rates have also been revised:
- Taxi drivers and couriers working through mobile applications now pay a preferential rate of 1 percent;
- For employees of housing cooperatives, the rate has been reduced to 2 percent;
- In the textile industry, the rate is set at 12 percent.
Additionally, owners of agricultural plots larger than 1 hectare have been transitioned to a voluntary insurance contribution payment system.
The Fund has also expanded its international connections in the field of pension provision. Within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, pensions have been appointed to 163 citizens of member countries, while Russia has appointed partial pensions to 134 citizens of Kyrgyzstan.
In South Korea, 136 individuals received pension payments, with an average amount of $3,789. Furthermore, 375 requests for confirmation of work experience with Turkey have been processed, and the first pension has been appointed under a bilateral agreement.
Starting from October 2025, an agreement with China will also come into effect. A document has been signed with Kazakhstan for data exchange to eliminate double payments. Negotiations are ongoing with Germany, Austria, and Azerbaijan.
